The Illinois Association for Gifted Children offers scholarship opportunities for young people annually. In addition to receiving monetary awards up to $1000, students are also recognized at the IAGC annual conference and on the IAGC website.

This year, the window to apply for student scholarships is open between  February 5 through June 18, 2021.

There are two scholarships for which students can apply:

The Carol Morreale Scholarship: This $1,000 award was established in memory of Carol Morreale, an educator, early IAGC member and tireless advocate for gifted children. Funded through memorial donations, this scholarship is given to a student in grade 1 through 8 who has demonstrated excellence in language arts or math. Financial need is a consideration.

Distinguished Student Scholarship: This scholarship provides up to $1,000 to support a student in grade 9 through 12 in an academic endeavor. Applicants must demonstrate excellence in one or more of the following areas: visual or performing arts, academic achievement or service and leadership. Financial need is a consideration.
